Configuring Transitions

Adding a Transition

You can add transitions between two states in an application workflow or sub-workflow.

To add a transition between two states:

From the Workflow Palette, drag a transition type onto the state in which you want the new transition to begin.
Note: Update and Copy transitions use only a single state. For these transition types, drag the transition on the state where it should begin and end.
Release the mouse button.
Click the state in which you want the new transition to end.
Type a name for the transition, and then press the Enter key.
Apply transition settings on each tab as they apply. Refer to the online help for details on each setting.

Renaming a Transition

You can rename a transition in an application workflow or sub-workflow.

To rename a transition, do one of the following:

Right-click the transition, select Rename, type the new name, and press the Enter key.
Select the transition, and on the General tab of the transition Property Editor, modify the name in the Name field.

Duplicating a Transition

You can duplicate transitions in any workflow or sub-workflow. This enables you to quickly copy transition attributes, such as form selection, form actions, and field overrides. For actions that execute asynchronous orchestrations, new mapping definitions are automatically created for the duplicated transition.

By default, duplicated transitions use the same "to" and "from" states as the original transition. You can change the originating and destination states as needed.

To duplicate a transition, right-click the transition, and then select Duplicate.

Deleting a Transition

You can delete any transition from a workflow or a sub-workflow.

Note: You can choose to disable a transition rather than delete it. Disabling a transition allows you to enable it later; deleting a transition removes it permanently from the workflow and any sub-workflows.

To delete a transition, do one of the following

Right-click the transition, and select Delete.
Select the transition, and press the Delete key.
